Oh Pooh

Let me just start off by saying that it was a hundred and two degrees yesterday.  Oh my goodness. Happy summer folks. This obscene temperature even deterred me from attending the Friday morning farmers market at Goddard, which is unheard of.  It would normally take an army to accomplish this feat but no, on that fateful morning I could just not muster enough courage to step outside my air conditioned house for any extended period of time. It just wasn’t happening.  I have to say, though, and you know it’s true, we’ll all be WISHING for this weather, when its 9 degrees out in the middle of January. Based on this fact, I’ve steeled myself to tolerate, if not enjoy this crazy heat.  At least until I actually have to go outside.

On a completely separate note, I saw "Winnie the Pooh" yesterday.  Ten of my friends and I sat ourselves down in the middle of that theater and tried not to be the annoying teenage horde that everyone thought we were. But we couldn’t. It was Winnie the Pooh. It was sacred. The years of popcorn-throwing and Swedish
fish-slinging were quelled in that one hour of Tigger-rific fun. I have to admit, I did get a little weepy. I did miss Winnie the Pooh ever so much. And I highly recommend this movie. Take your children, take your little cousins. We’ll all know that it’s you who really wants to see it, but we won’t tell.  

I have to say, looking back on my years with Winnie the Pooh, he has taught me a great many lessons, the meaning of life you could say. If your child isn’t best friends with Winnie the Pooh yet? Get started reading, good things will come of it.

“Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known.”

-Winnie the Pooh

“And by and by Christopher Robin came to an end of things, and he was silent, and he sat there, looking out over the world, just wishing it wouldn't stop.”

-Winnie the Pooh

Until next week!
